Food and Drink Federation response to Prime Minister's statement

“FDF members will be dismayed by the political and economic chaos provoked by a
further
delay to the Brexit process.

“Every political decision takes us closer to the catastrophe of no-deal. Each
extra day of
uncertainty diverts time, effort and investment. It undermines growth and
employment. And as we have
seen from the weakness of Sterling, constrains businesses ability to plan and
export.

“The confidence of the business community in political decision-makers is
hanging by a
thread.”
